[HowTo] Get a HeadStart on a WL-500gP

[Fontinhas]

Hi Raas,

The links are working now. Must have been some temporary problem with the servers. Downloading them now.

Thank you

[holla]

my ados won't start downloading...
anyone with the same problem?

[raas]

Hi Holla,

ADOS will not start directly, this is because it uses scheduled tasks in the background (cron).

In ADOS, select the file you want to download, then in the top of the screen, press the 'play' button to order for download, wait for a minute or so, and push the refresh button, see if it downloads,

otherwise, check if the link you want to download actually exists.

besides,

when I try to create a folder (using using my network connections) in /mnt or /opt folders I keep having an error sayng I have no permissions to do that...


any idea??

I think that might be also the problem coz the router may have no rights to write on it

On usb Application I have
Samba File Shares: all partitions
Default Access Level: read/write

Holla,
Do not use the samba which is embedded in oleg's firmware (the USB-application you're refrering to.)

As you haven't followed wengi's tutorialcorrectly (which tells you to disable all kinds of things, incl. samba in the webinterface, part 1, Install Firmware.), errors like these (not being able to write) may occur. It could be that this is also the case with the problem you're having with ADOS.

[holla]

hmmm

i see...

i skipped this part of the tutorial....

- disable FTP, Samba, NFS

maybe thats the problem

[holla]

Installed all over from the scractch and still the same problems.

can't download things using ados.

and can't create folders or copy what so ever to /mnt or /opt using windows network connections....

the only way I can create folders is using mkdir through telnet or ssh...

any idea???

[raas]

Hi Holla,
Well, looks like we've found the reason why.
I can't guarantee that everything works if not all the steps are taken.

Disable the stuff in the webinterface, save settings and reboot, and see what it does then.

[holla]

Hi raas

Sorry but the problem remains... I seem to have no permission to write either on /mnt or /opt using windows....

[raas]

Hi,

I just mounted the HeadStart image myself (I have it on another disk), and tried, works, so I think it somehow must be in the config or something,

could you post your output of 'mount' and '/opt/etc/samba/smb.conf'

thanks

[holla]

Hi again. here are the things u asked for

Mount

[NAS@Asuz root]$ mount
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 on /opt type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 on /mnt type ext3 (rw,noatime)

/opt/etc/samba/smb.conf'

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from desktopmr.lan (192.168.1.250)
# Date: 2008/09/18 08:12:36

# Global parameters
[global]
        security = SHARE
        log level = 1
        max log size = 100
        dns proxy = No
        guest ok = Yes

[opt]
        path = /opt
        force user = admin
        read only = No

[mnt]
        path = /mnt
        force user = admin
        read only = No

Thanks

[raas]

Thanks,

that looks ok.

can you try to create a share using the SWAT tool on
http://192.168.1.1:901/


(you haven't changed the ip of the asus, have you, there might be security issues when it's not in the 192.168.1.x range, I don't know from-the-back-off-my-head where to configure this, have to look this up.)

Thanks bro


now it's finally working hehehehe

I spent hours and hours over it and finally it worked.

I had to setup everything from the beginning. Installed everything from scratch and only entered my personal stuff like ssid, encrytion, ips etc when I had all ur package installed and configured

Once again thanks for your precious help

best regards

ps:
now i have to get some more stuff working:

NFS server for my dreambox,
and some other stuff I got to think like ftp server and my homepage hoster

[raas]

Glad to hear it is working now.
